Are infant formulas regulated for quality and safety?
Yes, infant formulas are strictly regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure product quality and safety. All infant formulas, by law, must meet or exceed the standards set by the FDA. As a result, no brand of formula is better than another. All formulas marketed in the United States must meet the same standards to provide complete, balanced nutrition.

Is it okay to switch?
When it comes to choosing baby formula, the first question to consider is whether to use a cow’s milk-based formula, a soy formula, or a lactose-free formula. Most pediatricians recommend starting with a cow’s milk formula and most babies tolerate it well. No baby formula brand is superior to another and parents can switch formula brands without causing harm to their baby. If your baby has trouble digesting cow’s milk, your doctor may recommend switching to a lactose-free or soy-based formula.

Are corn syrup solids the same as high-fructose corn syrup?
Some babies are sensitive to lactose, the most common carbohydrate in mother’s milk and cow’s milk but some babies are sensitive to lactose. Like other brands, Love & Care uses corn syrup solids as an alternative carbohydrate source. Don’t be confused: Corn syrup solids and high-fructose corn syrup are different. Too much fructose has been shown to be unhealthy for babies – so Love & Care avoids use of high fructose corn syrup. Corn syrup solids are fructose-free and gentle on baby’s tummy.
